action
During the civil war, two Union soldiers of Sicilian origin, Franco and Ciccio La Pera, are jailed for desertion. Sentenced to death, she saves her own stupidity: the Yankees desperately need two idiots to distract from two highly intelligent officers who are carrying out the actual operation on an espionage matter. However, the two are soon taken for the specialists, until after a few tangles they fall into the hands of the Apaches. There, too, it happens that the two, through their absolute ineptitude, help the Confederates to great advantage. They are honored for their involuntary bravery and surprising successes.
criticism
The lexicon of international film saw "a mindless clothing tailored entirely to the grimace play of the Italian comedians Franco and Ciccio." Christian Keßler could not note any particular merits either: an "acceptable slapstick film that does not introduce anything essentially new and the canon [...] how Usually the clichés of the genre with the contorted mind and face of Franco Franchi are exposed to ridicule. ”“ The film is unusually good, although it was only shot as an additional vehicle for the two grotesque comedians ”, say Segnalazioni Cinematografiche and also notice the large number of people of well-known actors in sometimes small roles.
Remarks
The Italian gross profit was a good 317 million lire .
